LANDSCAPERS
Produced by Sister in association with South of the River Pictures, LANDSCAPERS is an exhilarating and darkly funny tale of love and fantasy, explored through the lives of convicted killers Susan (Olivia Colman) and Christopher Edwards (David Thewlis).
Written by Ed Sinclair for Sky/ HBO, LANDSCAPERS asks how this devoted and mild-mannered real-life couple came to kill Susan’s parents and bury them in the back garden of their Mansfield home, in a crime that remained undiscovered for over a decade.
Pivoting through various perspectives – from Susan and Christopher's to that of the police officers and lawyers involved in the investigation – the drama invites the audience into the surreal fantasy world that Susan and Christopher created by casting themselves as Hollywood heroes in stories of their own invention. This is the story of a unique murder case involving four lives lived on the margins of society. Will Sharpe (Giri/Haji, Flowers) directs, and co-writes 2 episodes.
LANDSCAPERS won 3 BAFTA Craft awards in 2022.

As Rose stands to lose her freedom and the custody of her daughter, and outrageous letters continue to blight the town, police officer Gladys Moss begins to suspect something is amiss. Together with a group of resourceful women, Gladys endeavours to solve the mystery, liberate Rose, and catch the real culprit…
